| Profile: Jalil has worked on excavations in Morocco and France. Although his interests are in prehistory, his first dig was actually at a Medieval city (Sijilmassa) in Morocco. Jalil speaks Berber, Arabic, French, English, Russian, and even knows Latin. For relaxation, he enjoys reading, especially Zen, and working with computers. Jalil got interested in archaeology when he was 14 and a teacher showed him ancient stone tools. He later combined this early exposure to archaeology with his interests in the environment and how things develop over time. | ||
